What determines who gets an ordinance drop and what they get in it? Is it random or do you have to earn it through a killstreak?

The Personal Ordnance usually has a grenade, powerup and a power weapon. You choose with the D-pad which you want. It's not random and you don't get it through killstreaks. You fill up a meter by getting points in the match. You get points by doing a various amount of things which include gettings kills, assists, multikills, distractions and things like that.

So so hyped. The gifs. The soundtrack. Going to a midnight launch on Monday. Tuesday is public holiday in Australia. It's destiny. Heroic here I come.

Not bitter, just unsweetened
Sprint and Armor Abilities? lol that's pretty Reach like to me.

AA doesn't really feel like reach IMO

I would say it feels like a different halo 2, sorta. Maybe. It's really hard to describe for me because it doesn't really feel like any halo game, kinda.

In a few weeks it won't even matter. Let them keep their stats. Come on Dream, you're a grown ass man this shit shouldn't matter to you.
Yeah, there's only going to be a few thousand people who have the game early. The chances of going up against them after November 6 is minimal. And it's not like them having custom loadouts gives them a huge advantage. It's their knowledge of map design that'll really give them the upper hand, and that can't be erased.

I don't know... a lot of stuff they're adding seems to be influenced by CoD....

Yeah like regenerating health, holding 2 weapons at a time and single button to throw a grenade. Those rip-off merchants!

I mean whatever next can they rip off from COD? The replay theatre, the party system, multiplayer matchmaking! The whole idea makes me literally sick. Bleurgh
 
Halo GAF -- as someone who has enjoyed the story of Halo in general and has had their interest in the universe spike as a result of playing through H4 SP (I had a press copy), what books should I check out? I know some of the later games have caused some to drop out of the canon or whatever, so what is good, relevant and particularly now? I understand some in particular will expand and explain bits of H4.

I like how they actually implemented the eSports Red vs Blue multiplayer into the actual Halo universe and lore (as combat simulations onboard the Infinity).
It's not something completely off-hook anymore.

I mean like the drop in/drop out, camos, instant spawn, earning weapons over time, those kinds of things.

*Shakes fists* keep those popular/useful features out of my game, especially when they don't having any significant effect on the core gameplay!
